I have to do a little bragging for my bride. I took her shooting this weekend at 1000 for pretty much the first time. It appears I'm a good instructor and load some pretty darn good ammo too. We had a full value 15 MPH cross wind which meant she had to hold for 5.8 feet of drift and still shot some darn good shots. The first pic is the 2 of us by the big steel and her 4 shot group two are on the beam and the other two are just off. The next picture is of the smaller stuff top steel is 8 inches and bottom is 10 which she hit twice.

Pretty lady and good shooting. Nice rig too.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.
